A Few Testimonials From our Clients:

"The Dave Koszegi Real Estate Team has been thrilled to work with Waterfront West since its inception. Dave’s recent google + chat with Sharleen Kneeland about waterfront properties on Sproat Lake was highly successful. We can easily attribute a considerable amount of our Sproat Lake business to Waterfront West’s online marketing and social media services. They are always on top of the latest technology and their websites, blog, google+ page, etc. are always an interesting read and contain valuable information for both buyers and agents interested in BC waterfront real estate. They do a phenomenal job of connecting agents and buyers and their marketing services come highly recommended by the Dave Team!"

"I have advertised with www.waterfrontwest.com for several months now and the response has been phenomenal. Unlike direct mail or print advertising, the percentage of leads and sales generated has been extremely high. The process is easy and painless – as is the cost! Advertising with www.waterfrontwest.com has far exceeded my expectations as visitors to the site, in my experience, have been more qualified, serious buyers than from any other source. I definitely recommend utilizing this site as an advertiser – you get a lot of bang for your buck. I will be advertising with www.waterfrontwest.com on as many developments as I can."

Amanda HawryshInvestment Consultant

"Qualicum Landing has been advertising our development on Waterfront West since we started selling our luxury beach homes last April (2009), and the response has been phenomenal.

As marketing director for Qualicum Landing, I focus a good amount of my time making sure our website is getting as many hits per week as possible and Waterfront West has been a key component in achieving numbers of up to 4500 per month.

The website is easy to navigate and very well optimized. In short, I would highly recommend Waterfront West to any developer or seller looking to enhance their web presence and capturing a worldwide audience."
